New laws to create cloned babies

So called therapeutic cloning will inevitably lead to reproductive cloning. A new debate is beginning, which if allowed, would permit the use of DNA from three people to make a child.

"British couples could soon be able to have babies created using DNA from two women and a man as part of a revolutionary human cloning technique.

Controversial legislation due to be debated by politicians this week sets out ways to allow test-tube babies to be created from the biological material from three parents.

The laws would allow an embryo to be created from the nucleus of one woman's egg, her partner's sperm and another woman's mitochondria, the material surrounding an egg's nucleus and which promotes cell growth."

I was on the Montel Williams show once with a woman who used this technique. You may wonder WHY? would anyone do this? Seems her eggs were 'bad' but she wanted her child to be part her in some small way. So another woman's egg was used to 'prop' her egg up.
